You're presented with a rube-goldberg contraption at each screen, and have to figure out how to accomplish the goal. Click on various locations to make things happen. The puzzle is to do things in the right order.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't get past the first level. No matter what order I do things in, the balloon always pops on the square on the left. Is there something I'm missing, or is the game's physics flawed in some way?

Edit: Never mind, I tinkered with the timing and finished what was there. Cute little game, but I think it should either be puzzle or twitch, not a combination of the two.

It's probably getting shot by the gun rather than bursting on the building.

It's easier than the hapland game, too, but it's also unfinished (at least it was last week) - it has three levels and then just stops.

I got downmodded for posting a link to the walkthrough for Hapland, so I'll just mention there's a walkthrough for Free the Balloon in existance and a bit of digging will find it. (note - since googling for the walkthrough now comes up with this thread - I found it in the forums of the site the game is on. I don't think it's there anymore and I don't know where else it could be.)

Please don't PM me asking for the walkthrough, I don't know where it is anymore

A tutorial on secret tags:

You can use them to hide something incriminating, so that if you post spoilers into a thread, people don't have to stumble over them if they don't want to.

You use secret tags by putting [secret] at the start of the spoilers, and at the end.

Matt
